    I'm still tring to figure if I want to change the interior colour of my 348. Black at the moment, but would love a different colour but cant seem to come up with anything that would match the fresh yellow paint I've just splashed on the exterior.... any suggestions?

    Black is nicest in my opinion. If it is black it should stay that way.

    I've seen cars in yellow/blue.

    Black with some yellow in would be as far as I would want to go. On second thoughts I would leave it just black.

    I have seen yellow/tan also. Other than black, that would the best interior colour combo to get IMO. :):) Yellow/tan looks great.

    I like blue interior with yellow body, but can't see why crema wouldn't look good as well. I once saw a yellow 355 with red leather, which was 'interesting'(!).

    Alternatively you could go for the full yellow like one F430 owner did: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=135782903&postcount=912

    Are you getting the interior retrimmed (I've heard that it is quite common to renew leather ever few years in the far east) or looking to buy a used interior from someone else? By asking this, what I'm getting at is whether you have complete free choice or are restricted by what will be available.

    Also, check 285Ferrari's pics of his 355's interior - he must be too modest to post them in this thread as it has gorgeous black leather with yellow stitching - a little bit unique but subtle at the same time!

    Another thought I've just had - what about sticking with black seats and getting some yellow mats/carpet to cordinate the interior/exterior?

    BTW your car looks stunning in your profile pic - any more pics of it?

    Black or black & grey combo are the only colors that look right IMO.

    Black is best.

    The contrasting yellow stitching looks extremely nice, IMO.

    I'm with the black or blue ppl. I've seen yellow on solid red for a 360 and it was terrible. Purple is yellow's complimentary color but I wouldn't do it. Cuoio or crema look *ok* but not my cup of tea on yellow.

    Have you ever thought of actual white, I think it'd look fantastic!

    Thanks very much for the feedback guys. I will be doing a full re-upholster so no limitations. Am thinking dark navy with yellow stitching or black with yellow stitching. Probably use alcantara on the dash and some of the doors to give it a bit of a "stradale" look....

    That will be awesome!! If you are going to go dark, id love to see black with yellow stitching. But your call of course. Either way, as long as its a good job im sure it will look fantastic. :):)

    Sounds great to me. Make sure you get it done by an experienced upholsterer and use quality materials - never compromise a Ferrari with inferior merchandise/craftsmanship. Good luck and please post the resultant interior pics when you have the job completed.

    On a yellow car, I think black looks the absolute best...but tan definitely works.

    Anything else looks tacky, IMO.

    I'd stick with Black. Keep in mind you are going to resell it someday.

    Red = :eek:

    I am biased, but think that you can't go wrong with yellow and tan!!! And I had a choice of two IDENTICAL cars that were the same color exterior and different interiors. One black, one tan.

    Here is my tan..........
